After rebirth, one gold coin bought the Elf Princess

As long as he stayed with Roland, he would have the opportunity to fight against the strong.

This is what Sophia wants most.

She felt extremely regretful when she thought about missing out on such a grand event as the battle to protect the World Tree.

Fortunately, Roland has enemies all over the world, so he never has to worry about not having fights.

Sophia rolled her eyes and said half-jokingly, "Do you have any extra territory here? Can you give me one?"

Roland looked at Sophia in surprise and froze on the spot.

Of course there is territory.

Even if there isn't any, it's okay to pinch one for Sophia on the spot.

But what exactly does she want to do?

Seeing Roland hesitate to speak, Sophia frowned slightly, the wings behind her flashing golden light, and she snorted and muttered with some dissatisfaction:

"It's just a piece of territory, and you're hesitating?"

Roland smiled and said, "There are plenty of territories, so there must be a reason. You are not an ordinary noble."

"Although the princess of the Frank Empire is respected, she has no political status."

Sophia shrugged and said with a hint of self-mockery, "Strictly speaking, apart from the title of princess, I am no different from a commoner."

"I just felt the magnificence of the battle to defend the World Tree, and wanted to find a reason to join the battlefield."

Roland suddenly realized that this princess was a typical martial arts fanatic.

He pointed his finger and a map of the Kingdom of Gracia appeared before him.

Roland pointed to the lavender territory icon and said solemnly, "The purple grids are all directly under the jurisdiction of the kingdom. You can choose any territory outside the capital."

Territory is indeed important to secular monarchs, but to monarchs like them who are embarking on the path to becoming strong, it is just an ordinary resource.

The value of a earldom may not be as good as a useful fifth-level magic item.

"Are you really willing to give it up?"

"You choose."

Sophia was only half joking at first, but she didn't expect Roland to actually accept the challenge.

The world of Tiamat has a well-developed set of rules for noble relations, and it is not uncommon for a royal member or even a monarch to serve as the lord of another country.

Just don't be afraid of legal confusion.

After choosing for a long time, Sophia finally found a small piece of unowned land between the dwarf settlement area and the royal capital area in the western wilderness.

"That's it. It's enough space for my guards to stay here."

"that's it?"

Roland frowned slightly, even more confused.

Princess Sophia has already spoken, and it would be impolite not to give her an earldom. How could she only want a territory the size of a knight's fiefdom?

It seems that she is not interested in the territory, but simply wants to find a reason to fight.

Roland said seriously, "Your Highness Sophia, I have a suggestion. Since you don't care about territory and titles, then become an honorary knight."

"Honorary Knight?" Sophia was a little surprised.

"Yes, Honorary Knight."

Roland introduced to Sophia in detail the powers and obligations of an honorary knight. In simple terms, it means becoming an honorary citizen of the Kingdom of Gracia, enjoying extremely high honorary treatment, and serving when needed.

"This is good!"

Sophia's eyes lit up, she nodded and accepted the arrangement.

Soon, she was awarded the title of Sky Knight.

Since she is an honorary knight, there is no question of who is loyal to whom. She and Roland are equal.

After watching Roland leave, Sophia's expression was somewhat complicated.

This honorary knight sounds a bit illusory, but in fact he has a very high status.

Rather than being an honorary knight, he is more like a guest official.

What a funny guy.

She silently revised her evaluation of Roland and walked straight to the diplomatic corps' residence.

She visits the ambassador's residence once a week to listen to his/her work report, give a few simple instructions, and show her presence.

After all, she is the nominal person in charge of this visit, and she cannot shirk responsibility if something really goes wrong.

The rules of the Frankish Empire were very strict.

If she messes up, she will most likely be stripped of her princess title and demoted to an ordinary royal girl.

Back at the residence, the ambassador gave her a routine work report.

After hearing the ambassador's report that the two sides had signed a reciprocal agreement and established formal diplomatic relations, Sophia thought of this guy's tough attitude a few days ago and said mockingly:

"Ambassador Clover, I admire you more for the rebellious you a few days ago."

"The Kingdom of Gracia didn't seem to make any concessions. Why did you accept it?"

Although Sophia is the person in charge of the visit, Clover is in charge of the details of the negotiations to establish diplomatic relations, and she will not interfere with the specific operations.

She was just a little curious about Cloverfield's change of attitude.

Facing Sophia's questioning gaze, Clover hesitated for a long time before telling the truth. It turned out that the leader of the intelligence personnel planted here was arrested.

Seeing Clover's evasive gaze, Sophia pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Anthony has worked hard. Let him take his men back."

"Your Highness, do you mean that all intelligence personnel should be withdrawn?"

"Everyone evacuate, leave no one behind."

Sophia's attitude was very firm.

"It was normal for us to send intelligence personnel before we established diplomatic relations. Now that we are friendly neighbors, it would be rude to continue to directly collect intelligence like this."

"No king wants to be followed. Let's all retreat."

Clover was secretly surprised by Sophia's evaluation of Roland, but he did not resist Sophia's decision.

When asked for opinions, he can speak freely.

But when Sophia made a decision, he had no choice but to execute it.

In fact, what Sophia said was not wrong. Founding kings like Roland who built a kingdom from scratch were all great leaders. How could they tolerate others spying on them?

Not taking action to eliminate all intelligence networks was to save face for the Frankish Empire.

Anthony's arrest was both a warning and an ultimatum.

Looking at Clover's conflicted expression when he left, Sophia felt deeply moved that these bureaucrats always liked to look at people from a secular perspective.

If Roland was like the others, he wouldn't be able to fight against the entire tribe of goblins alone.

When facing someone like Roland, it is better to be less routine and more sincere.

Sophia remembered what her teacher said before she set out.

In the center of Gaia continent, in the former capital of the human race, a huge storm is brewing.

Sparrows flee from the storm, and hawks flap their wings into the wind.

If she wants to break through her current power bottleneck, she must go to the eye of the storm.

The teacher's predictions were always accurate, so she came.

Roland did respect her, but it was a pity that he had not yet satisfied his desire to fight since coming here.

Thinking of this, Sophia couldn't help but complain.

Roland, a guy who hardly ever stopped fighting, was surprisingly so obedient this winter.

This is not like him.

......

"Ah!"

Roland, who was drinking tea with Melanie, sneezed suddenly.

Melanie took out a handkerchief and handed it to Roland, looking at him with concern.

Roland laughed in silence and said teasingly, "Do you think I'll catch a cold?"

Melanis pursed her lips and smiled softly, feeling a little embarrassed. A strong person like Roland had already been disease-free and would not get sick easily.

"That means someone is saying bad things about you behind your back!"

Roland held Melanie's hand and said calmly, "If you don't attract jealousy, you are a mediocre person. It's normal for people to say bad things about me behind my back."

"If we can find this person, we will make him pay."

Melanice grumbled indignantly.

Of course she knew that Roland had many enemies, and she had no idea who they were, but she couldn't lose verbally.

The two chatted for a while, and Melanis grabbed the corner of Roland's clothes and said softly: "The World Tree just told me a piece of news, which is probably good news."

"Good news is good news, what do you mean by probably?"

Roland was a little curious.

"World Tree said that Feng Ling and Sandra's body transformation went smoothly. Their efficiency in absorbing energy is even better than most original tree elves."

"That's a good thing." Roland nodded.

"In order to ensure their smooth transformation, World Tree decided to let them stay for a few more months."

"OK..."

Roland instantly understood that what Melanie said was probably good news.

If they hang on the tree for a few more months, Fengling and Sandra's strength will improve by leaps and bounds, but the wedding date has been set and cannot be delayed. They are afraid that they will miss the wedding.

Seeing Roland frown, Melanie quickly proposed a solution.

"In the eyes of outsiders, the appearance of elven girls is not that different. I can find someone to play them. Fortunately, they all have to wear veils at the wedding, so as long as they are careful, they won't be exposed."

Roland understood what Melanie meant.

Find two substitute brides and fool around with the wedding first.

For the sake of a smooth wedding and for the sake of face, it was not wrong to do so, but Roland still shook his head.

"No."

"Leave it to me. I am proficient in all kinds of makeup techniques and can definitely make the fake look real."

Melanie was confident.

Roland still shook his head.

He asked calmly, "If it was you hanging on the tree now, would you regret having someone else complete the process for you at the wedding?"

"A wedding is the most dazzling moment for every girl. How would they feel if they were replaced by someone else?"

Melanie bowed her head and said nothing.

Of course she will be very lost, and it will be a lifelong regret that can never be made up for.

It’s not hard to prepare things for a wedding again, but can the hot atmosphere and guests come back?

No.

Some things can't be made up once they're missed.

Melanice clearly felt that Roland did not use Feng Ling and Sandra as bargaining chips for a political marriage, but seriously considered their feelings.

Just like taking care of her feelings back then.

Melanis smiled and said softly, "I understand. This wedding will only be between Janice and I. Feng Ling and Sandra's wedding will be held later."

Roland nodded and asked with a smile, "Anything else happened recently?"

"Everything else is fine, but Father is not in good condition. I have seen him frowning and looking very sad several times when he was alone."
